In an effort to offset the time change and avoid the effects of jet lag, I have resorted to staying up extra late -- that and the fact that I have the dryer running outside of my room to provide me with some more clean, dry underwear for my trip. I think I've managed to pack everything I'll need for a 3 month journey... fortunately, if I have forgotten anything, I'm only away for 18 days. I have a headache. Going to bed now.
